ICC Registrar elections

The Registry is the largest organ of the ICC and indispensable to the workings of other organs of the Court including the Presidency, the Judiciary, and the Office of the Prosecutor.

The five year term of the current ICC Registrar Herman von Hebel ends on 16 April 2018. Each Registrar is elected for a five-year term and is eligible for one re-election at the end of their term.

After a review process, the Presidency short-listed 14 candidates. The Judges will elect the next Registrar in March 2018, taking into consideration recommendations from the Assembly of States Parties.

These candidates submitted their application for the position in their personal capacity; they were not nominated by a State.

Questionnaires

While the Coalition as a whole does not endorse or oppose any individual candidate, it is committed to ensuring that only the most highly qualified candidate is elected as Registrar by the Court’s Judges.

To assist in informing the Judges in electing the Registrar we asked the candidates to fill in a questionnaire.
